In the post-apocalyptic world where Chu Jinjin lived, although there was no specific classification, zombies varied in strength. As for berserk zombies, they were extremely rare, and the specific reasons were unknown.
When enraged, strength and speed surge.
The solution is simple: just destroy the brain infected by the virus. But obviously, that's not possible with wood.
The delegation, which had just been driven away, rushed over again, looking shocked: "Your Highness."
"Stop shouting. Find something sturdy to tie him up." Chu Jinjin was gradually losing control; in a short while, Mu Wei would be completely out of control.
A group of people hurriedly tied Mu Wei up tightly with ropes and clothes.
Mu struggled just now to avoid being humiliated and to maintain his rationality, but this would completely make him lose his mind. If Chu Jinjin hadn't been experienced enough to tie him to the bed, he probably would have already broken free. His strength was terrifying.
Similarly, all the symptoms of the zombies appeared: their eyes turned red, they went mad, and they stared intently at the people in front of them.
The delegation was completely panicked.
"How did the prince end up like this?"
"It looks even more powerful, what should we do?"
Some of them glared fiercely at Chu Jinjin.
She is the one who turned Muwei into this.
"What, am I only allowed to be bullied and not allowed to bully others?" Chu Jinjin felt no guilt whatsoever. If she were forced to marry into the Northern Desert, Mu Wei's experience would probably be something she would have to go through every day.
The envoys dared not speak out against their anger.
Whoever has the bigger fist is right.
Princess Le'an cautiously reminded them, "Esteemed envoys, shouldn't we help Prince Mu put on his clothes first?"
Northern Desert Envoy: "..."
They were so focused on saving people, and since they were all men, they forgot that their prince was still naked.
Chu Jinjin asked calmly, "How long will it take for Your Highness to regain consciousness in this state?"
She had previously only suspected that Mu Wei was a zombie, but now she could confirm it. Mu Wei was clearly different. The other Northern Desert soldiers were dull-witted, could talk, and were not afraid of sunlight, but upon closer observation, they were still different from normal people.
If she hadn't come from the apocalypse and could sense the peculiar zombie smell emanating from Mu Wei, she wouldn't have been able to tell at all.
No one answered.
The envoys from the Northern Desert all looked away.
Chu Jinjin understood: "So you didn't know either, this is his first time, isn't it?"
The wood spirit, unable to bear the humiliation, turned into a corpse in desperation; this is very important information.
Is it possible that we might lose control of the zombies at this point?
Is this also a state of consciousness?
Chu Jinjin acted without warning, pulling out the hairpin and stabbing it fiercely into Mu Wei's chest.
If it really works, things will be much easier. Mu Wei can control zombies and create an unlimited number of them, which makes her hesitant to act rashly.
Conversely, killing only the wood is much simpler.
Once he loses control, the zombies he has already created are no threat.
The envoy from the Northern Desert exclaimed in surprise.
"Chu Jinjin, be brave!"
"Don't you dare hurt my prince!"
Shouting was completely useless. At such close range, no one could stop him. The hairpin was embedded in Mu Wei's chest, almost touching his heart. If it had been slightly off, he would have been crippled.
It wasn't that Chu Jinjin showed mercy.
It is wood.
In that life-or-death moment, he managed to shift slightly to the side.
Chu Jinjin was disappointed.
Normal zombies don't hide; Mu Wei is still conscious, just not very clear-headed.
Mu Wei was tightly bound and unable to break free. His eyes were wild, as if he didn't recognize Chu Jinjin anymore. He stared intently at her, and suddenly, he let out the strange howling sound he had heard during the martial arts competition that day.
The delegation of over two hundred people from the Northern Desert consisted mostly of soldiers who had turned into zombies, in addition to the servants who took care of their food and lodging.
Twenty of them were killed by Chu Jinjin in the martial arts competition that day, leaving a total of eighty people.
They were like lifelike mechanical figures in their respective rooms, sitting or standing, making almost no sound except for the occasional blink of their eyes. But the faint whistling sounds made them feel as if they heard the rallying horn, and they burst out of the door like lightning.
The howling sound contained meaning that only they could understand.
The eighty people were divided into two groups.
Half of them rushed towards the front of the inn, while the other half actually jumped over the wall—on the other side of the wall were houses.
At the same time, the second-in-command of the Northern Desert envoy saw through Chu Jinjin's thoughts and loudly stopped her: "Miss Chu, you mustn't! If the Prince isn't here, it will..."
He didn't dare say what came next.
Chu Jinjin wasn't the only one with this idea; their king, for example, couldn't tolerate a younger brother who posed a threat to him.
The consequence is that the wood will not die.
Steel blades and spears pierced his body, drawing blood, but after he turned into a zombie, the pain subsided, and the wounds slowly healed.
Even more terrifying is that the half-zombie has lost control and bites anyone it sees.
"What else can you do? Tell me quickly!" Chu Jinjin suddenly turned around and snatched a steel knife from one of the people's hands.
She reacted quickly, but the zombies reacted quickly too.
The exquisitely carved window was shattered into pieces, and the zombies broke in. The first few surrounded Mu Wei, while the remaining zombies seemed to know that they had to deal with Chu Jinjin first, and they pounced on her frantically.
It was no longer a friendly duel that day, but had turned into real zombies.
These numbers were nothing to Chu Jinjin; she had seen many more, but the space was cramped, and being bitten would turn her into a zombie.
Chu Jinjin cleaved the zombie charging at the front with a single slash, then shoved Princess Le'an into the room. In that brief moment, seven or eight zombies pounced on her back.
Meanwhile, some of the envoys from the Northern Desert have already fallen victim to the virus.
Although they were all from the Northern Desert, their understanding of zombies was far less than that of Chu Jinjin. When they saw Chu Jinjin rushing to rescue Mu Wei, their first instinct was to stop her, thinking that they were all on the same side.
Enraged by this action, it bit his arm hard with its long beak.
The Northern Desert envoy screamed in pain, struggling and kicking desperately, but it was no use; he was bitten even more and died.
Someone disregarded everything else and slashed at the zombie's neck, but ultimately lacked the strength.
A chilling scene unfolded: the zombie's neck was severed by about a third, and unable to support itself, it slumped forward with its head hanging over its shoulder.
Another scream rang out.
"Run outside quickly, don't let them bite you." Chu Jinjin was too busy to help herself, mainly because there was too little room for maneuver. This was what she had been worried about before. In the midst of thousands of soldiers, there were zombies everywhere. It was not easy to accurately destroy their brains every time.
No matter how badly you are injured elsewhere, it doesn't matter; you can still move around.
No one thought about saving Muwei anymore; they all ran frantically outside. Some tried to resist, but the zombies didn't flinch at all, and in the blink of an eye, two more people were bitten.
Fortunately, most of them had some skill.
The room suddenly felt much emptier, and Chu Jinjin finally had room to maneuver. She chopped off the heads of several zombies in succession. Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she suddenly remembered something, and a cold sweat broke out on her back.
She turned around abruptly and met Mu Wei's bloodshot eyes!
